Struggling to find a purpose

i spent most of my life in the org.

we were taught that our purpose in life was to serve jehovah.

that never really made sense to me, but it was still a purpose to keep going.

Better to give then receive. Why not help people in need. Or maeby abandon animals. There's a lot too do out there. When it comes to jw land. Holy spirit is not in meetings. It's another spirit there now. That's why they depressed. But you make your own choice if you wanna attend meetings or not.

Who really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave?

by Godlyman in

if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

I don't have any problems thinking they are the slave class. God uses many people. But this is a legal thing also. If everything goes wrong, cause bad decisions, God is not gonna put blame on his son. But it's a legal thing. So someone has to have legal responsibility. There's comes the great arrangement with a slave class. So yeah they have claim they are slave class and only once that fullfil requirements. Great, now there's a group that takes responsibility to this disaster

"the GB is being provided with GUARDS, GUNS AND OTHER AMMOs TO SHOW THESE FOLKS THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HARASS NOR GET TO BOTHER THEM AT ALL! WARWICK AIN'T LIKE THE HEIGHTS (Brooklyn, NY) WHERE PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE THEM CAN GET TO THEM! HA!". 😲"

To bad the GB has no interest in protecting children from child abuse, in the organization, same way they protect themselves 😠

How many Grandparents in your Hall?

by Riley in

i am technically involved with a hall that has never few young ones and lots of older childless ones.

or if they have children , their children haven’t had any children.

very weird stuff.

Hellothere

I would be straight up with everyone and tell them point black. With recent developments in organizations regarding Child abuse cases,I don't want anyone adult making friendship with my children. Get your own children or friends at your own age. Maeby sounds harsh. But you must protect your children

They should go into politics then being leaders in Christian congregation.

Mark 10:42-45 Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you

Don't know about faithful slaves. They do complete every Mark Jesus put up of the Pharisees. And they do it with gusto.

Matthew 23 Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:

2 The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law are experts in the Law of Moses. 3 So obey everything they teach you, but don't do as they do. After all, they say one thing and do something else.

4 They pile heavy burdens on people's shoulders and won't lift a finger to help. 5 Everything they do is just to show off in front of others. They even make a big show of wearing Scripture verses on their foreheads and arms, and they wear big tassels[a] for everyone to see. 6 They love the best seats at banquets and the front seats in the synagogues. 7 And when they are in the market, they like to have people greet them as their teachers.

8 But none of you should be called a teacher. You have only one teacher, and all of you are like brothers and sisters. 9 Don't call anyone on earth your father. All of you have the same Father in heaven. 10 None of you should be called the leader. The Messiah is your only leader. 11 Whoever is the greatest should be the servant of the others. 12 If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honored.

13-14 You Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses are in for trouble! You're nothing but show-offs. You lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. You won't go in yourselves, and you keep others from going in.[b]

Spot the double-talk

by neat blue dog in

who can spot the double-talk in this quote from a new pr brochure series meant for government and media relations?.

the religious activity of jehovah’s witnesses worldwide is overseen by an administrative body, which jehovah’s witnesses refer to as “the governing body.” this group follows the pattern of the first century “apostles and elders” in jerusalem, who shared bible-based information and enabled individual believers to make their own decisions.

(acts 15:2) the governing body recognizes that each individual “will carry his own load” and respects his right of free will to make decisions, as he will bear the responsibility for the results..

Hellothere

😁😁😁 first Cristian follow the Bible. JWs follow decision GB makes. And most are not about teaching bible to public. 99% of decision are about controlling JWs members life.
